PREDICTS FEDERAL AID FOR STUDENTS
Federal aid for college and university students has been predicted by
E. O. Holland, president of Washington State College, Pullman, and
it will be "supplied through the furnishing of campus employment or
through direct loans to students," he said. This aid will possibly be
similar to the civilian conservation corps.
